A store's "thrift store" category on Google doesn't tell you whether it actually takes donations — some are consignment-only, some fund a specific charity and only want certain items, and some have stopped accepting drop-offs altogether. Every thrift store on this page has its donation policy confirmed on the store's own website, not assumed from the category.

Good to know
Do thrift stores give tax receipts for donations?
Nonprofit-run thrift stores — Goodwill, Salvation Army, and similar charity operations — typically hand out a blank donation receipt you fill in yourself for tax purposes, since IRS rules require the donor, not the charity, to estimate the value. For-profit resale shops usually don't offer receipts since donations aren't tax-deductible there.
What items do thrift stores not accept?
Most won't take items that are stained, broken, recalled, or missing safety parts — think damaged furniture, expired car seats, or exposed electrical cords. Many also decline mattresses, box springs, and old CRT televisions due to disposal costs or local regulations.
Where to sell used clothes for cash?
Resale shops, consignment boutiques, and buy-out stores across Rhode Island pay cash on the spot for clean, trendy apparel. Bring gently used items in good condition during trade hours for immediate evaluation. You can browse 24 verified secondhand locations across Rhode Island to find buyers near you.
Where to sell used clothes?
Used clothing can be sold through consignment stores, local buy-sell-trade shops, or online peer-to-peer marketplaces. Ensure garments are washed, free of stains or tears, and styled appropriately for the current season. Search ThriftAtlas to discover local resale stores and trade opportunities in your area.
